Here's another question: if laws are only for the law-abiding, then why do we prosecute non-law abiding people? After all, Bunker says laws aren't for them.

To be clear, are you saying that people are actively spurning a mask mandate in, for example, a store that has a sign at the door that requires a mask?

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.

Where are all these vast majority of people who don't wear masks? Where I live, there is an indoor mask mandate at most indoor establishments, and mask compliance is near 100%, same as it was a year ago. There are still a high percentage of people who walk the street in masks, which I think is overkill, but hey, that's their choice, and it's a much safer choice than someone being deliberately unvaccinated and deliberately unmasked around others, because they care only about themselves. Are people in Michigan actively spurning indoor mask mandates to make a point?

Wait until they sue for the right to terminate employees who got the vaccine because religious freedom. That’ll be fun.

Well, in republican leadership’s defense, they lie only because they believe everything will work out just fine.

OK, I misspoke. He is not engineering a fascist takeover. He is the Potemkin leader of the fascist takeover.

Yeah, what lawyer would want the inside track potential that comes with working for the guy who's engineering what could be a successful fascist takeover of Amerika? I would bet a high percentage of them are true believers and are besotted by his orange celebrity sheen.

Good thing he can't lob any nukes at Ch-EYE-na to distract us from all this.

Just doing his (real) job.

And there the tweet goes ...

I'm sorry, you can blame me for that. I've also started seeing more open shelf space in that aisle, so I picked up three extra big packages of Northerns last week. Also, three extra big packages of Viva paper towels. Better in my house than in a ship in the harbor.

You flatter with your implication that he's engaging in serious debate.

Oh well, there goes that dream.

If the Bengals can kick a field goal (37-11) or score a touchdown (41-11) and that’s it, we’d have a scorigami.

Succession returns tonight.

Maybe they beat the Jaguars to London. They do have a team nickname the Brits can get behind, plus they are used to watching bad gridiron football teams over there.

That is one of the four accepted ways for the Lions to lose in horrific fashion: Go down big early, come back and fall just short. Come back from a deficit to to take the lead late and lose in the last minute. Take a big first half lead and blow it in the second half. Get blown out. They still have a chance for #1 or #2, but I got my money on #4.

I don’t care of any of them win or lose because they are all dynasty teams, and if I don’t live in their city, I don’t root for them. I don’t like the three teams you mentioned in part for the reasons you state, and I don’t like the Braves either because they keep perpetuating the Chop. All I’m rooting for at this point are seven-game series, with the tying run coming to the plate in the ninth inning of Game Seven.

In my big city, as in many, pedestrians at crosswalks have the right of way over cars. In fact, cars are required by state law to stop when a pedestrian is crossing, or about to cross. So I’ve trained myself to stop whenever I see a person standing at a crosswalk. In the past few years, I’ve stopped when I see a person at a crosswalk, only to have them ignore me, or stare at me like I’m an alien. After a few seconds I get the message and continue driving on. Didn’t take me long to figure out that they are standing on the corner waiting for their Uber or Lyft. I wish rideshare customers would pick a spot that’s not at a crosswalk, but that’s not gonna change. So the least they could do is stare down at their phone while standing there, which would be a signal to cars that they’re not waiting to cross. After all, isn’t that what everyone does all the time, anyway? But that won’t change, either. So I guess I’ll just continue to stop at crosswalks and then continue on when the person standing there just stands there.

I think MTS was set to 24 hours and you had complete discretion as to whether an edit was marked as edited. If I had to guess, edit max time is set to five minutes here and any edit is marked as such. OOTP forums are set to five minutes before it’s automatically marked as edited, and you can edit forever. That’s a pretty good system, at least the five minute part. It allows you to edit technical mistakes like misspellings and punctuation errors. Since I updated to iOS 15, sometimes a letter or space I type will double up and I won’t notice it until I post and look at it live.

I can see requiring masks when there are some people in the building known to not having been vaccinated, but I can’t understand requiring the wearing of masks when literally everyone in the building is vaccinated. It makes no logical sense to me. Either the building stewards are indemnifying themselves for legal and insurance purposes, or they don’t believe what people are offering up as proof of vaccination, at which point, why bother even asking because it’s theater at that point.

Be mentally prepared to be required to wear a mask even with the requirement everyone be vaccinated. I went to a play last month where that was the case.

Please. You know as well as anyone that there is a well-accepted standard of what point a check swing becomes a strike, what that standard is, and that this falls well short of it. Enough with the gaslighting. Come on.
